Logically speaking (but there's another side to the argument-read below) the PC is the way to go for one reason I can think of: Upgradeability. You cant do that with an XBOX as far as I know. As technology advances MS will have to develop an XBOX 2 with more processing power. So you shell out another 300.00 unless they will offer a discount to those customers that already have an XBOX.
It could also be argued that buying an XBOX for 300.00 is no more expensive than buying a new Video Card for your PC. With the PC you have to worry about not only buying a new gaming card but also the possibility up upgrading your PC as well. So in the long run overall you will pay more to upgrade your PC.
The PC also does not have any rumble effect which I think is awesome for the XBOX. The only problem w/ the Box is there is no keyboard or mouse.. There is also the possibily you will have to pay a service charge to play games on the Box when it officially goes online. I think that would be a big disservice to players. You are already paying a Cable or DSL monthly fee and then you have to turn around and pay another fee. If XBOX does charge a fee it should be a one time fee.
All comments are welcome.
